Defeater - Forgiver Forgetter lyrics

He awoke in a cold sweat to
Those old sounds of heartbreak
His brother at his side screaming
This isn't your fight
But that rush took over his head and
He came to his mother's side
And he found himself alone
With that devil rambling

Oh, well the money's all gone
And she can't pay the rent with
That needle in her arm
He clenched his fists What did
She ever do to you
But raise us by herself when you
Were too drunk to come through?
He took a swing
That's some nerve you got kid
Yeah, well they'll put that
On your tombstone
As the last thing that you said
I never wanted to kill a man
Like I want to kill you, man
And the years of pain boiled over
Trading blows across the counter
And when that devil was down
He grabbed for his empty old friend Jack
He caught his eye as he took his last breath
And that vice went to his
Head again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again

Dear God
What have you done? cried out his mother
That devil drunk was no father
Another name on a list for
Unpaid bookies and gambling debts
That spiteful stare of his brother
I ain't no forgiver forgetter
I'll make you pay for this
When you least expect it
He washed the blood from his hands
Kissed his mother and stepped
Into cold night air
